Unfortunately, there's not simple formula to identifying all of the factors of a number and it can be a tedious process when trying to identify the divisors of larger numbers. To find the factor combinations of the number 5,454,001, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.
We start by creating a table and writing 1 on the left side and then the number we're trying to find the factors for on the right side in a table. Then, below that, write the numbers as a negative as well.
| 1 | 5,454,001 | |
| -1 | -5,454,001 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,454,001.
Example:
1 x 5,454,001 = 5,454,001
and
-1 x -5,454,001 = 5,454,001
Notice both answers equal 5,454,001
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,454,001 and divide it by 2:
5,454,001 ÷ 2 = 2,727,000.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,727,000.5 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 5,454,001 | |
| -1 | -5,454,001 |
Now, we try dividing 5,454,001 by 3:
5,454,001 ÷ 3 = 1,818,000.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,818,000.3333 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 5,454,001 | |
| -1 | -5,454,001 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,454,001 ÷ 4 = 1,363,500.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,363,500.25 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 5,454,001 | |
| -1 | 5,454,001 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 29 | 67 | 203 | 401 | 469 | 1,943 | 2,807 | 11,629 | 13,601 | 26,867 | 81,403 | 188,069 | 779,143 | 5,454,001 |
| -1 | -7 | -29 | -67 | -203 | -401 | -469 | -1,943 | -2,807 | -11,629 | -13,601 | -26,867 | -81,403 | -188,069 | -779,143 | -5,454,001 |
